Namami Ganga
Revisiting the scheme: Its cleanup time INDIA | CAPITAL GOODS | Sector Update
24 April 2017
Three recent events have put the focus back on the government’s Namami Ganga Program (NGP) and on Va Tech Wabag (VATW), a beneficiary of this program. In this report, we revisit NGP, three years after its launch. To form a updated view we met with officials from UP State Pollution Control Board (UP SPCB), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR), and two other companies in the sector.
Why are we focusing on Namami Ganga now? We believe that three events will provide the required momentum to NGP: (1) BJP’s win in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand state elections will allow better centre‐state coordination to resolve bottlenecks. 40% of the river’s length is in Uttar Pradesh, which contributes the most to sewerage and effluent generation. (2) The Supreme Court’s verdict on 22nd February 2017 for all Gross Polluting Industries (GPI) on the Ganga to compulsorily set up / operate effluent treatment plants. 764 GPIs dump 500MLD of effluent into the river daily, as per CPCB. (3) Uttarakhand High Court’s verdict classified the rivers Ganga and Yamuna as ‘living beings’ and appointed the Director General of NMCG as their guardian.
Feedback from our meetings We gather that most of the work related to data collection, hiring of consultants, and legalities is done. Interception and Diversion (I&D) has been added to NMCG’s scope. Additionally, projects on the Yamuna have been brought under the ambit of NGP. Interestingly, the unanimous feedback was that data on effluent discharge is understated. Competition is expected to be low as NMCG is only looking to award projects to companies with good execution track records. Areas where we believe there is still fluidity are the mode of execution – EPC vs. PPP (hybrid annuity). In March 2016, it was decided that NGP projects (excluding the legacy NGRBA projects) will be awarded on PPP. However, the new thought process is to award projects on PPP only in large 10‐12 cities while the rest of the projects will be awarded on EPC.
Our view: Pace of ordering to pick up Based on the new award structure, we expect total capex on NGP at Rs 200bn, of which Rs 140bn will be on sewerage treatment plants (STPs) and the balance Rs 60bn on effluent treatment plants (ETPs). NMCG has already approved Rs 16.6bn of STP projects in April 2017; we expect it to approve Rs 20‐25bn more in 2HFY18. Both these tranches of approved projects should be awarded in FY18, and the balance (Rs 100bn) in FY19. Capex on ETPs should be back‐ended as compliance is weak, and it would take more time for the government to push industrial units to set up plants. Key beneficiaries from NGP and effluent‐related capex would be – Va Tech Wabag (Buy), L&T (Neutral), Voltas (Neutral), Thermax (Sell), and Ion Exchange (Not Rated).
Va Tech Wabag: Retain Buy, TP Rs 740 In our January 2017 report we highlighted that VATW should benefit from improving visibility on new orders and contraction in working capital to 21% by FY19 from 34% in 1HFY17. Our investment argument on higher orders is playing out. We have raised our FY18 order inflow estimates by 24% and our FY19 earnings by 7%, on improving visibility on order inflows – not just from NGP, but from other domestic and international projects such as Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, and Bangladesh. We expect our thesis on reducing working capital intensity to play out in FY18‐19, which should lead to a further rerating of the stock. We maintain our Buy rating with a revised target price of Rs 740 (Rs 600 earlier). The stock currently trades at 19x our FY19 earnings; our target PE of 20x FY19 is at a discount to VATW’s long‐term average of 21.5x.

NAMAMI GANGA SECTOR UPDATE
Why focus on Namami Ganga now? Recent events (BJP’s state election victory in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Supreme Court’s verdict that 764 polluting industrial units across the Ganga should set up effluent treatment plants, and Uttarakhand High Court’s decision to classify Ganga and Yamuna as living beings) has put the spotlight back on the government’s Namami Ganga Program (NGP) – a project that has not seen much physical progress in the past three years. In order to understand if recent developments will put much‐required pressure on kick‐starting NGP capex, we interacted with officials of State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), and many companies that are likely to be beneficiaries of NGP investments. Based on the feedback we received from our meetings, we believe that ordering for STPs will now pick up pace, as most of the challenges on data availability and legal backing are now overcome. In addition, in this report we have highlighted the potential sewage capacity addition required by India over the next five years. Progress on NGP has been slow so far... Almost three years into the BJP government’s tenure, its most talked‐about project ‘Namami Gange’ has seen no material progress. Two key reasons for the delay: 1. Change in business model to hybrid annuity from EPC: In order to take the
benefit of leverage, the government chose to shift its business model while awarding projects to ‘hybrid annuity’ from the earlier turnkey (EPC) model – this led to a delay of almost 18 months.
2. Lack of coordination between central and state governments: Water forms a
part of the state subject. Hence, despite a thrust from the central government, the state (UP, which did not have a BJP government) was slow in implementing NGP reforms.
As a result, no major projects were awarded in the past three years.

...but, that is about to change Three events give us confidence that the government’s Rs 200bn NGP capex will now take off: 1. BJP won the Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Uttarakhand state elections: These wins (in
contiguous states) will help the central government to pass policies and award projects faster. Notably, UP accounts for the highest municipal and industrial pollution in the Ganga.
Execution should pick up as BJP has won UP and Uttarakhand state elections

22nd February 2017 said that all industrial units would compulsorily have to set up an effluent treatment plant within the next three years. Units that do not comply stand to lose their ‘consent to operate’. This judgement will put much‐needed pressure on industrial clusters along the Ganga river to comply.

On 20th March 2017, the Uttarakhand HC passed a landmark judgement, giving rivers Ganga and Yamuna the same status as living beings, making India the second country to provide a river with such rights.

Advocate General of Uttarakhand have been appointed guardians of these rivers. Even as the court judgement fails to give tight timelines and does not elaborate on the detailed repercussions of such a verdict, it is a move in the right direction – one that will help curtail dumping of sewage and effluents into the rivers.
A recap on what is wrong with the Ganga 5000MLD of sewerage is discharged into the Ganga daily Availability of data on sewage generation in the Ganga basin has significantly improved between 2009 and 2015, even as sewage treatment capacity in this period has remained flat at 1,230 MLD.

So what is the opportunity from Namami Ganga? We base our assessment of the potential opportunity from NGP on: • Official budgetary allocations to the scheme and the recent changes in
project funding structure (EPC vs. PPP) • Realistic estimates based on our on‐ground checks We estimate a Rs 200bn opportunity under NGP
Source: NMCG, PhillipCapital India Research We estimate the total opportunity from NGP for sewage treatment plants (STPs) at Rs 140bn and Rs 60bn for effluent treatment – thus taking the total opportunity to Rs 200bn. Changes to the mode of execution... Our recent meetings with NMCG (the nodal agency for NGP) suggested that not all projects will be awarded on Hybrid Annuity (HBA) / PPP, as earlier envisaged. PPP projects will be restricted to 10‐12 large cities while for the balance cities/towns, projects will be awarded as EPC. ...could lead to orders worth Rs 140‐150bn vs. earlier estimate of Rs 200bn Assuming that 50% of the allocated funds for STPs (Rs 80bn) will be kept aside for viability gap funding (VGF) for PPP projects, the balance will be for EPC. In that case, we believe that the total investment on STPs under NGP would be Rs 140‐150bn over FY18‐20. Rs 16.6bn worth of projects approved recently The NMCG recently approved STPs worth Rs 16.6bn – of these 35% (by value) will be awarded on PPP and the rest on EPC. This suggests that the pace of ordering is likely to pick up. Based on our interaction with NMCG, we gather that it is in the process of approving another Rs 20‐25bn projects over the next three months.

Updated baseline data could necessitate higher allocation Data on sewerage generation for the entire river was last compiled in 2012. As per the recent survey (2016), the flow of sewerage in the Haridwar‐Kanpur belt is 40‐250% higher than what was estimated in 2012. Even in the case of effluent treatment, current data suggests that every operational industrial unit in the Haridwar to Kanpur region (90% of the effluent generation happens in this stretch) has an ETP – hence, there is no material capex required on industrial pollution. However, based on our visit to UP and meetings with CPCB, we gathered that official data on effluent discharged into the river is highly understated since there is no proper monitoring system yet.
Our contacts cited examples of the tannery industry in Kanpur, which has 422 units, with an official effluent discharge of just 22MLD – in reality, this figure is likely to be significantly higher.
As per latest survey, the discharge by drains between Haridwar to Kanpur has increased by 75% between 2012 and 2016 Sewage / Industrial effluent (mld) River 2012 2016 Change (%) Ganga 497 701 41% Ram Ganga 210 728 246% Kali East 675 996 48% Total 1,382 2,425 75%

NAMAMI GANGA SECTOR UPDATE
Our view Pace of ordering will pick up Our channel checks suggest that ordering from NGP will pick up pace in FY18‐19. Rs 16.6bn worth of projects have recently been approved, and we expect another Rs 20‐25bn to receive approval and be awarded in the next six months. Competition will be limited for large projects We expect competitive intensity for large projects, particularly for PPPs, to be limited. NMCG will allow companies with proven execution track record and restrict fringe players from participating in PPP projects.
Va Tech Wabag (Buy, TP Rs 740) Improved visibility on FY18 order inflows We believe VATW will be one of the primary beneficiaries of NGP capex. In addition, in the near term, we expect opportunities for municipal STPs from Pune, Bangalore, and AMRUT projects in MP and Bangladesh. Consequently, we raise our FY18 order inflow estimate by 24% to Rs 44bn (+14% yoy), which leads us to raise our FY19 earnings estimate by 7%. Chennai desalination plant could offer a upside risk to FY18 inflow We expect the 150MLD Nemmeli desalination plant (Rs 14bn) to be awarded in 1HFY18. VATW is one of the technically shortlisted companies for the project. Presently, we do not build this project into our estimates. In case VATW wins this project, it would imply a 30% upside to our FY18 order inflow estimates. Our thesis on improvement in working capital is yet to play out In our January 2017 report, we highlighted that VATW should benefit from improving visibility on new orders, and contraction in working capital to 21% by FY19 from 34% in 1HFY17. Even as visibility on orders has improved, we see our thesis on improvement in working capital to play out over FY18‐19. Retain BUY; revise target price to Rs 740 VATW’s stock has rallied 40% in the past three months (23% relative outperformance to BSE Cap Goods) mainly on improving climate for domestic order inflows. We believe that the stock will rerate further on improving working capital. Hence, we maintain our Buy rating with a revised target of Rs 740 (Rs 600 earlier). The change in our target price is because of: (1) a 4% revision in our FY19 earnings estimates, (2) increase in our target multiple to 20x vs. 18x earlier, and (3) rolling forward our valuation to March 2019 (September 2018 earlier). The stock currently trades at 19x our FY19 earnings – our target multiple (20x) is at discount to VATW’s long‐term average of 21.5x.
